The tone (which I can't express here obviously) was quite clear that she was letting me down as gently as she could. She was enjoying the intention and thought I was a decent guy I think but wasn't open.
I've been ejecting too soon on previous ones and know this was to avoid disappointment but I realise I've got to get used to that eventually to progress.

Personally I'd tweak what you said to her a little for next time to:
"I need to get back to work, I'm late already, give me your number/facebook *(up to you which one)* so we can continue our conversation".
I understand you feel to exit when she is letting you down gently but then why not put a swing on the interaction and come from a friend standpoint.
May as well try to counteract, absolutely nothing to loose, just do it with a smile.
Kind of a weird way but I used online sites to overcome rejection, now it doesn't bother me as much.
As a Arsenal fan said to me in France whilst we were watching Arsenal against Fenerbache, "Northerners are great, Newcastle people are the best, better than us miserable fucks in London".
